* The landlord always remains responsible for the deposit even if the landlord has instructed
an agent.
* mydeposits.co.uk does not hold the deposit, except during a deposit dispute when it will
hold the disputed amount until the dispute is resolved.
Page 1 of 29
* Within 30 days of receiving your deposit the landlord/agent must provide the tenant with a
signed Deposit Protection Certificate. The tenant should sign the Certificate to confirm the details
are correct.
* Agents must hold the deposit in a client bank account separate from other business monies.
A2.1 Landlords and letting agents take a deposit as a safeguard should problems occur during the
tenancy and the tenant breach the terms of the contract e.g. failure by the tenant to pay rent or
damage caused to the property.
A2.2 Since 6 April 2007 all landlords/letting agents who take a deposit from their tenant on a
property in England and Wales under an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) agreement must protect
the tenant's deposit in an authorised deposit protection scheme. The law was introduced to help
ensure that tenants are able to receive all or part of their deposit back, should they be entitled to it.
A2.3 my deposits is a government authorised deposit protection scheme. Landlords or agents can
join my deposits and pay protection fees to protect deposits. This protection enables them to hold
on to the deposit for the duration of the tenancy and then return the agreed amount to the tenant
at the end of the AST.
A2.4 The deposit must be protected with an authorised Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme
within 30 days of receipt of the deposit. Failure to do this can result in the following:
* The Landlord will be unable to obtain a Court Order to regain possession of the property
(under Section 21of the Housing Act1998) unless the deposit has been protected with an authorised
Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme within the 30 day period, and/or the deposit has been returned
to the Tenant.
* The Landlord could be penalised with a fine of up to 3 times the amount of the deposit if
the deposit is not protected within 30 days.
A2.5 If the tenant is unhappy with the amount of the deposit returned by the landlord/agent at
the end of the AST then the tenant can raise a dispute and make a claim for the disputed amount. A
fundamental part of the Housing Act 2004 states that the deposit remains the tenant's money,
regardless of the fact that the tenant has handed it to the landlord or letting agent (subject to any
lawful claim the landlord/agent may have to the deposit money). The landlord/agent must provide
evidence as to why any of the deposit amount is being withheld at the end of the AST. mydeposits
offers a free and impartial Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service should the tenant and the
landlord/agent be unable to agree the amount of the deposit to be returned to the tenant at the end
of the tenancy. If ADR is not agreed to by both parties then the dispute will have to be resolved
through the Court system.
A3.1 Within 30 days of receiving the deposit from the tenant, the landlord/agent must protect
the deposit with my deposits. In addition, the landlord must provide the tenant with details of how
the deposit is being protected and what to do if there is a dispute regarding the deposit amount
Page 2 of 29
returned to the tenant at the end of the tenancy agreement. my deposits provides proof of the
deposit protection in the form of a Deposit Protection Certificate (DPC) which is sent to the
landlord/agent. It is the landlord's/agent's responsibility to check that the details on the DPC are
correct and then sign it. They should send the tenant the Certificate for the tenant to check and sign.
A4.1 my deposits will not send the tenant confirmation of the deposit protection. The
landlord/agent is obliged to send the tenant a copy of the DPC, however the tenant can check the
tenant section of my deposits.co.uk's website to find out if the deposit is protected with my
deposits. The tenant needs their surname, the rental postcode and the month the deposit was paid.
The search results are displayed instantly.
A4.2 Where deposits are held on a joint tenancy agreement, the first named tenant will be
deemed to be the lead tenant and shall remain the lead tenant for the duration of the tenancy.
A5.1 As a member of my deposits, the landlord/agent will, upon receipt, hold the deposit for the
duration of the tenancy. The only time my deposits will hold the deposit is if a dispute is raised and
the landlord/agent lodges the disputed amount with us. We will then safeguard the disputed
amount until a resolution has been decided.
A5.2 At the end of the AST the tenant should ensure that they leave the property (and if
applicable the contents) in the same condition in which it was let.
A5.3 In all cases the tenant will not be able to dispute any reasonable charges that were clearly
explained to them and that the tenant previously agreed to pay when they signed the original AST.
The tenant should also ensure that they are up to date with their rent and utility bills. Disputed
amounts that involve unpaid bills are often judged in the ADR or Court process in the favour of the
landlord/agent.
A5.4 The landlord/agent must attempt to agree with the tenant the deposit amount that should
be returned to them. If the tenant is unable to agree, the tenant should formally ask for the deposit
to be returned to them and keep evidence of this request. The landlord/agent is legally obliged to
return any agreed amount to the tenant within 10 days of that agreement. Any amount of the
deposit that the tenant cannot agree on becomes the subject of the 'disputed amount' and is subject
to the procedure as we describe here.
A6.1 Once the landlord/agent has returned the agreed deposit amount to the tenant they will be
able to request that my deposits unprotects the deposit.
A6.2 If the tenant agrees to the deposit being unprotected by the landlord/agent then the tenant
will be unable to raise a dispute with my deposits at a later date unless the tenant can prove that
they did not agree to the unprotection or did not actually receive the deposit amount as agreed.
Page 3 of 29
A6.3 To ensure that the deposit has been unprotected with the tenant agreement, my
deposits.co.uk will try to contact the tenant at any alternative address that the tenant originally
provided to the landlord/agent at the start of the tenancy.
A7.1 If the tenant is unable to reach agreement with the landlord/agent over the return of the
deposit, the tenant should notify my deposits.co.uk of a Deposit Dispute at the address, email
address, telephone number or website address specified in clause 3.6 of the attached Tenancy
Agreement.
A7.2 The tenant can notify us of a dispute up to 90 days after the landlord/agent has unprotected
the deposit PROVIDED that the tenant did not agree to the unprotection. my deposits.co.uk will not
accept disputes after this period has elapsed or where the deposit was unprotected with the
tenant's agreement.
A7.3 The tenant can initiate a deposit dispute in one of two ways:
A7.4 The tenant can notify my deposits.co.uk of a possible dispute, and manage the process
online. If the dispute is to be resolved through ADR then the online service allows the tenant to
submit all evidence. This includes uploading photos, AST contracts, inventories and the like, online.
The website contains more information on the type and format of evidence the tenant should
submit. The tenant should contact my deposits.co.uk if they are looking to submit video evidence as
there may be restrictions to the file sizes that mydeposits.co.uk's system can receive.
A7.5 Visit the tenant's section on the my deposits website and look for the dispute resolution
page. The deposit protection number given on your DPC will be required.
A7.6 Once the tenant has notified my deposits.co.uk of a dispute they will have 10 working days
in which to upload or amend any evidence to the my deposits.co.uk website. After the 10 working
day period has expired no further evidence will be accepted.
A7.7 If the tenant does not have internet access and wishes to raise a dispute, the tenant can
contact my deposits on and request 0333 321 9401 and request a Dispute Notification Claim Form
(DNCF) to complete and return to my deposits.co.uk together with their supporting evidence if the
tenant is using ADR.
A7.8 The tenant will have 10 working days from the date that they receive the DNCF from my
deposits.co.uk to return it completed and with evidence to my deposits.co.uk. The tenant is deemed
to have received any document that my deposits.co.uk send to them two days after my
deposits.co.uk post it to them by First Class post. mydeposits.co.uk reserve the right to reject
submissions received outside of these timescales.
Page 4 of 29
A8.1 The tenant must submit a copy of the signed AST agreement. Without the AST it is difficult
to establish whether the tenant had a formal contract with the landlord/agent. my deposits.co.uk
may accept a deposit dispute without this document subject to a written explanation as to why the
tenant has not included it.
A8.2 All evidence is non-returnable unless my deposits.co.uk have made a prior arrangement with
the tenant. An administration fee will be charged by mydeposits.co.uk, and must be paid in full in
advance, to cover the postage and packaging costs.
A9.1 my deposits offer a free and impartial Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service to
resolve your deposit dispute. Both tenant and landlord/agent must agree to use the my deposits
ADR service. If either party does not agree to ADR the dispute must be resolved through the Court
system. If the Court system is used the landlord/agent must still lodge the disputed amount with my
deposits.co.uk, as they must if ADR is used.
A9.2 The final decision of the Adjudicator is binding on the parties and is not open to appeal
through the Scheme. Either party may however, on certain limited grounds, appeal the Adjudicator's
decision through the Courts.
A10.1 After my deposits.co.uk receive the tenant's completed claim form, or after 10 working days
from the date that the tenant registered the deposit dispute online, mydeposits.co.uk will send the
landlord/agent the details of the dispute together with copies of any supporting evidence that the
tenant has provided to us.
A10.2 The landlord/agent must then acknowledge the dispute within 10 working days of receiving
that request form from my deposits.co.uk and send the disputed amount to my deposits.co.uk for
safe-keeping whilst the dispute is being resolved.
A10.3 At the same time the landlord/agent must tell my deposits.co.uk whether they wish the
dispute to be resolved by using the my deposits ADR process. The tenant will be informed if they
decide not to use the ADR process. The dispute will then have to be resolved directly with the
landlord/agent through the Court. If the landlord/agent agrees to the ADR process they will have a
further 10 working days (making 20 working days in total from the date that they received the first
notification of the tenant's dispute to them) to submit their evidence to my deposits.co.uk. Both sets
of evidence are then passed to the Adjudicator to make a decision on the disputed deposit. Once the
Adjudicator's decision has been received by my deposits, we will distribute the disputed amount in
accordance with that decision within 10 days.
A11 Dealing with disputes if the landlord/agent fails to co-operate with my deposits
A11.1 If the landlord/agent does not co-operate with my deposits.co.uk's request for the disputed
amount or counter-information regarding the dispute within the prescribed timescales, my
deposits.co.uk can, if the tenant has agreed to use the ADR service, submit the tenant’s evidence to
Page 5 of 29
the Adjudicator for a decision. my deposits.co.uk will distribute the disputed amount within 10 days
of receiving the decision.
* Either the tenant or the landlord/agent have told my deposits.co.uk that they intend to take
Court action; or
* The dispute has already been resolved by a Court, or proceedings have been commenced in
a Court.
A12.2 my deposits and/or the Adjudicator may reject a Deposit Dispute which, in their reasonable
opinion:
* Is fraudulent;
* Seeks to raise matters which have already been decided upon by ADR or a Court.
* Ask for more information or make further enquiries of the parties, and if information or
enquiries are not answered within a reasonable time period proceed to adjudication.
* Proceed to adjudication entirely at his discretion even if either party has not acted in
accordance with our Rules. The Adjudicator's decision cannot be appealed through the Scheme and
is binding on all parties. Either party may, however, on certain limited grounds, appeal the
Adjudicator's decision through the Courts.
A13 Confidentiality
A13.1 All aspects of my deposits.co.uk's ADR process are confidential and will not be published,
apart from as required by Law, for enforcement, and where my deposits.co.uk and/or the
adjudicator are required to provide statistical information to the CLG and other Government
Departments based on the results of the adjudications. Any statistical publications will remain
anonymous.
A14 Liability
A14.1 my deposits.co.uk will take reasonable care in the selection of the independent adjudicator.
my deposits.co.uk do not accept any responsibility for any losses or expenses suffered or incurred by
the tenant as a result of any acts or omissions by the adjudicator. Any claim the tenant may have
against us is limited to the disputed deposit plus interest at 2% above HSBC base rate from the date
of liability to payment.
